What road bike do you have?

Not an especially great pic, and not staged at all according to forum tradition - but I could stand being off the bike only long enough to lean it up against a post during a beautiful morning ride through farm country yesterday. One of those really good days that keeps you coming back.

^^^ Thanks Man. The Rokh, being Pinarello's take on an endurance bike, is probably their most relaxed / upright offering - though still a bit less so perhaps than that of some other brands. It was a bit of a transition from the hybrid, though not as abrupt a change as some of the more race-oriented offerings across the board. There are still three spacers under the stem if I find I want to get lower later on. Right now I'm just really enjoying the ride.

My birthday present for the big Six-Oh. Back to road bikes after a few decades off. Only occasional mountain biking for the last 35 years. Am up to 40 mile rides after only three weeks of having it. It is so much fun to ride that I will have to be careful ramping up too quickly for someone my age.
Sorry the pic is quick and dirty. There are plenty of the same bike on the site that I could not hope to equal with my poor photographic skills.

Talk about jumping in head first. You go from NO road bike to THAT?

Anyway, now I am obligated to ride it as much as is practical. Nothing wrong with that as it is a blast to ride. I have 70 miles of relatively flat 2-lane, low traffic backtop outside my door in Montana. Once I gets started I have a hard time turning around. Will be a drag when I head back to Portland at the end of the week tho. Back to bike lanes and MUPs and traffic for the first 15 miles of any longer ride from my place there.

I can't tell if you mean me or the post after me... Well, my wife said I only get one and she didn't specify any other limits and it is my 60th birthday. I am aware that I should be at least somewhat embarrassed, I guess. But I'll get over it...

if you ever change your mind, this might make things easier and will allow you to move your computer.

This is my "road only" machine. Felt Z85 frame with hand built wheels and mostly Ultegra group.
The other is my converted MTB, a GT Avalanche that I use for touring, commuting, camping and such. It is the bike in my avatar.
